Harmony-drenched country-folk trio The Good Lovelies are Toronto's finest export since Sarah Harmer. This all-female group is indeed good and lovely, having nailed a formula of old-fashioned dresses, buoyant ditties, spot-on three-part harmonies and onstage repartee. What started off as a one-off singing Christmas music in 2006 has turned into

Neil Berg's Rock-n-Roll Decades travels the annals of rock history. Instead of using lame comic filler to slog from song to song, however, its performers introduce each number with history about the icon who made it famous. We're talking single-named superstars like Elvis, Dylan, Aretha, Janis,
